THE MOON shines stinging dreams into our eyelids. Art by Le Page Novembre, from Weird Wisdom: A Journey of Queer Joy.

The unconscious rising to the surface, visions, nightmares, facing the darkness, exploring what is hidden.

Weird Wisdom: Night time is both soothing and full of nightmares. If you listen you can learn things about yourself, decipher the messages the unconscious whispers just a bit louder when it’s dark. It takes courage to jump into this pool, but one can’t grow without taking the plunge, let the moon guide you.

THE HANGED ONE sees the sky as a vast ocean. Art by Le Page Novembre, from Weird Wisdom: A Journey of Queer Joy.

Pause, changing perspective, eye opening moment, stepping outside the comfort zone, sacrificing something.

Weird Wisdom: One has to make sacrifices in order to grow. Sometimes the world will have to be turned upside down so you can see and live the truth. Often it will hurt. But you will come out of this ordeal with a whole different understanding of yourself, and the universe.

DEATH stripped away the muscle to start over with the bones. Art by Le Page Novembre, from Weird Wisdom: A Journey of Queer Joy.

End of a cycle, transformation, letting go, rebirth, death of the ego.

Weird Wisdom: We all fear change, and so this card scares us. This is a moment of unmaking. You have jumped from the hanged one’s tree and shattered in pieces, now it’s time to build something new, something better. How exciting!
